Diana

Diana is a magic-damage diver who fits into both the mid lane and the top lane. She mixes an assassin’s burst with a fighter’s ability to stay in fights. Nearly everything she does revolves around one idea: tagging enemies with Moonlight, then launching herself at them. Crescent Strike fires a curved bolt of lunar energy that deals damage, applies Moonlight, and reveals the target for a few seconds. Lunar Rush sends her dashing toward any enemy carrying a mark, and it refunds the cooldown. Skilled Diana players build their rhythm around landing the arc, dashing in, and then re-dashing away from a second mark.

Trading and teamfighting

Pale Cascade summons three spheres that orbit her and explode on contact, and it also grants a shield that absorbs damage and grows stronger once the third sphere detonates. Because of this, she can trade blows in melee matchups with much less risk than most AP champions. Her passive, Moonsilver Blade, causes every third strike to cleave nearby enemies and boosts attack speed after she casts a spell. It rewards players who mix basic attacks between their abilities instead of just running through the rotation.

Moonfall is where she makes her mark in teamfights. It reveals every nearby enemy, pulls them in, and slows them. If she hits at least one champion, moonlight falls on the area and deals magic damage, with the amount rising according to how many targets were pulled in. A Diana who charges into three or four enemies and sets off Moonfall while her shield is active can turn a fight on her own.

She is a good fit for players who enjoy committing fully. Once Lunar Rush is used, she cannot dash back out, so the outcome depends on choosing the right moment and the right target.
